From Fear to Freedom | Mary Armendariz's Journey Through Healing and Reclaiming Personal Power
Why reclaiming personal power matters
Most of us carry beliefs that quietly shape our lives: unworthiness, guilt, fear, or the idea that someone else must validate our worth. Those stories live in the subconscious and show up as drained energy, repeating patterns, or chronic anxiety. Reclaiming personal power is about changing those inner stories, raising your vibration, and learning tools to keep your field clear so you can show up fully as yourself.
Mary's core idea: Power retrieval
Mary describes power retrieval as a practical, energetic process that helps you call back energy you have given away, clear limiting beliefs, and restore a high-vibration operating system. The work centers on intention, imagination, and healing energies that move through the body and the subconscious.
Energy never dies and you can bring it back.
That line captures the heart of the practice. If you have felt depleted by relationships, religion, trauma, or people who demanded your energy, power retrieval gives you a roadmap to reclaim that life force and refill your internal reservoir.
The Library of Beliefs: where the work begins
Think of your subconscious as a vast library where beliefs are stored on different shelves. Some are surface issues; others are buried deep in attics or dungeons. The first step is intention—being willing to examine what stories are running you—and then using guided imagery and intuition to visit that library.
During a session you identify beliefs that create fear, shame, or stuckness, and then you clear them. Mary combines guided visualizations with specific energetic tools—most notably the violet fire—to release held charge from cells and memory.
Violet fire and the role of angels
The violet flame, a color of transformation and transmutation, is used to dissolve old energetic patterns and forgive what needs forgiving. Mary emphasizes that forgiveness is an inner act: it comes from you, not from an external authority.
Forgiveness only comes from you.
Calling in the violet fire and supportive angelic beings opens meridians, clears cellular imprints, and allows higher self-wisdom to reintegrate power. These are tools you can use personally and repeatedly.
Balancing the divine feminine and divine masculine
Living at a high vibration requires a balanced partnership between the divine feminine (emotion, receptivity, intuition) and the divine masculine (structure, clarity, healthy action). Low-vibration patterns manifest as guilt, blame, excessive control, and future or past fixation.
Learning to "brain switch" from the low-vibration ego loop to a present, balanced state is central. Methods to do this include violet fire visualizations and simple directives like telling the ego to "sit down and listen."
Practical exercises you can use today
Here are clear, repeatable practices Mary shared. They are easy to do and designed to reset your nervous system and energetic field in minutes.
1. Violet Fire River (quick clearing)
Set an intention: I release fear, doubt, and scarcity from my body now.
Visualize a warm violet river flowing through you, washing old charge out of every cell.
Repeat: I release, I allow, I let go. Call in angels and your higher self to assist.
2. Archangel Michael clearance (for stubborn patterns)
Imagine Archangel Michael with a sword of light. Picture the sword slicing away the thought loops and attachments that keep repeating.
See the removed energy roll into a violet flame for transmutation.
Finish by sweeping the remaining dust away with a golden broom and sending it to the central sun in love.
3. Mirror ribbon release (for identity or throat blocks)
Stand before a mirror. See a black ribbon around your throat and another around your hips.
Ask Archangel Michael to cut each ribbon. Watch it turn to dust and sweep it out the door.
Affirm your truth and full expression.
4. Protect your Christ chakra (simple public protection)
Apply your favorite essential oil or perfume lightly at the base of your skull.
Set the intention: I protect my Christ chakra. I am safe.
Call in Archangel Michael to draw a blue protective sword down your back and surround you with a white-blue shield.
5. Grounding through Mother Earth
Stand or sit barefoot or imagine green moss under your feet.
Visualize roots extending down through layers into Mother Earth.
Say: I release fear, doubt, and anxiety into the Earth. I receive grounding, safety, and nurturing back.
6. Bubble and arrow protection (practice for crowds)
Create a white light bubble around you, reinforced with a blue Michael sword.
Imagine arrows or energetic probes testing your bubble; rebuild until nothing penetrates.
Affirm: Any energy that is not pure love is returned to the central sun.
How personalized guided meditations are created
Mary uses two methods to build meditations that truly fit someone’s needs:
Live consultation: a conversation to understand the struggle—career blocks, unworthiness, illness—then intuitively creating a meditation guided by angels and higher self.
Remote commissioning: you send an email outlining the issue; Mary connects and composes a tailored meditation.
Every meditation Mary designs typically begins with passing through a violet fire doorway, moving into heart space, and inviting the appropriate angelic or higher-self support. The outcome is practical: tools you can use on your own and that help your energetic body accept new frequencies.
A real transformation: loving the illness to let it go
One powerful example involved a client navigating cancer treatment. The chemo environment amplifies fear and density. A personalized meditation helped her invoke the violet fire and lovingly address the physical spots that were holding charge.
Instead of fighting the disease with shame or resistance, the practice involved thanking the illness for its lesson, holding it with compassion, and then asking for transmutation. The client used meditations during treatments and at home. The process shifted her internal state, and she reported feeling dramatically different in her recovery phase.
Empaths, boundaries, and daily spiritual hygiene
Empaths are especially vulnerable to taking on other people’s energy. Without daily protection and grounding they can quickly feel polluted and overwhelmed. The antidote is consistent spiritual hygiene:
Morning intention setting: declare your protection and your alignment with your higher self.
Daily violet fire clearings whenever you notice heaviness.
Regular grounding and Christ chakra maintenance.
Clear boundaries: visioning your energetic bubble, saying no to drains, and sweeping away residue at day end.
Quick-start checklist for someone feeling overwhelmed by fear
Stop consuming fear-based media for a set period.
Jump into a short violet fire river visualization and release anxiety aloud: I release all fear now.
Ground with bare feet or visualized roots into Mother Earth and hand over what you cannot solve.
Call Archangel Michael for a sword clear if intrusive thoughts or attachments persist.
Create a protective white-blue bubble before entering crowds or emotionally dense spaces.
Final encouragement
We are creative spiritual beings who came here to feel, expand, and reclaim our light. Amnesia can make us forget our capacity, but intention plus simple, repeatable energetic practices bring us back. The work of retrieval is practical and soulful: it treats the body, the mind, and the energetic field.
If you want to explore personalized meditations or learn more about power retrieval, Mary offers guided sessions and resources through her practice and is developing a podcast to share tools and teachings more widely. Power retrieval is a practice anyone can learn. With a few daily rituals you can step out of fear and into your own sovereignty.
